I'm surious, what would be a FAIR price for a Star Wars Stand up in good condition with some "yoke" issues?

Yoke issues are relatively easy to fix, if you're fairly mechanically inclined. If David is still offering his rebuild kit on sale, you can get most parts necessary for $50 from ramcontrols.com.

If the side art is good and the game is working, I would expect an upright to be in the $700-1000 range, depending on your market. It will most likely reach the higher end of the scale if it has an amplifone, lower end if WG (Amplifone might get $100 more than a WG).

But really, a FAIR price is what you want to pay for it. If you get warm fuzzies from the game or it is one of your grails, or if you think there might be some other interested buyers out there or if they're hard to come by in your market, your FAIR price might be higher.

Also need to be more specific on "yoke issues".

Are we talking just needs the convergence adjusted?
Or are we talking the yoke is shorted, burnt, bad?
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

I was assuming he meant the yoke controller
 (the one with the fire buttons on it)

(Amplifone might get $100 more than a WG).

... really?  I would think to someone who knows what they have, they would command a 400-500 premium for the Amplifone setup.

Let me know if I'm off here... because I may be clueless and I usually tend to overpay for stuff anyway  ;)
Happy Gaming!
